Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142: Briena’s Challenge

Inside Sephina’s office, everyone was watching Natalie speak to the reporters.

"Grandma, why is she so calm?" Briena asked.

"She’s good at faking it, just like her mother," Sephina replied. "They won’t let anyone see them panicked or scared."

"Did she just say Briena can’t dare participate in the perfume competition after she already said she wasn’t interested in competing?" Clara asked.

"By challenging Briena, she has only put herself in trouble," Sephina added. "Just as we planned, she’ll be forced to participate. When the reporters come to Briena, all she has to do is challenge Natalie back. Everything will be set with another of our trump cards."

Briena’s face showed a hint of worry. "But Grandma, I haven’t created any perfume in years. I’m completely out of touch. How am I supposed to...?"

"You just focus on participating. The rest will be arranged for you. Don’t worry," Sephina reassured her.

"Alright, Grandma," Briena agreed.

As expected, after leaving Natalie, the reporters rushed to find Briena at the artist management department of Ford Industries.

In the spacious reception area of the building, the reporters were asked to wait for Briena. Meanwhile, they were served tea and snacks, which pleased them.

Briena, dressed beautifully like the star she was, soon arrived and gracefully took a seat in one of the chairs arranged for her. Her manager, Ana, stood behind her.

Calm and composed, Briena smiled gracefully. She looked stunning—noble and approachable—unlike Natalie, who had left the reporters feeling uneasy.

"Ms. Briena, you are truly beautiful and graceful, like a noble lady. I hope you could teach some of your qualities to your sister as well," a reporter remarked.

Briena gave him a soft smile. "Everyone has their own unique personality, and we can’t change that. But that doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing. My sister is perfect in her own way."

"Ms. Briena, your sister shows no mercy with her harsh words, but you are truly generous and kind," another reporter commented.

Briena simply smiled, letting him believe he was right.

"Ms. Briena, have you seen what your sister, Ms. Natalie, said during her interview a short while ago?" a reporter asked.

"I have," Briena replied, her voice soft and her expression gentle.

"She claimed she didn’t plagiarize your work during the previous competition, where she was accused of doing so. What would you like to say about that?" the reporter pressed. "She even questioned if you might have plagiarized her work, and whether you are truly the perfume prodigy, Aroma."

"But she’s been associating with some powerful men lately. What if...," the reporter trailed off, before adding, "We asked her today, but she might just go ahead and sue us for defamation." _{fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com}
